To determine if 5865 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5865.
If the factors of 5865 are only 5865 and 1, then we know that 5865 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5865 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5865 is only divisible by 1 and 5865, then it is a prime number, and if 5865 is divisible by more than 5865 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5865 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 23, 51, 69, 85, 115, 255, 345, 391, 1173, 1955, 5865
Therefore, since 5865 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5865 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
